For travel between Europe and North America, Lufthansa allows one free checked bag and one pair of skis per passenger weighing 23-32 kg. each, depending upon your route and class of travel. Within Europe or North America, the free allowance increases to two free bags. The airline uses a zone system to determine fees for excess baggage weight.
Frequent fliers with Lufthansa get added checked baggage at no additional cost: two bags in economy or business are checked for free, and three bags may be checked free for frequent fliers with first-class tickets.
